A bit old but well maintained

🏆 Family Action Verdict

This IMAX theater may disappoint families expecting a premium movie experience due to outdated projection technology and inconsistent customer service. Best suited for families who prioritize convenience over cutting-edge technology, though consider AMC Del Amo for a superior IMAX experience. The gaming area provides additional entertainment for kids, but be prepared for potential service issues.

⏰Consider AMC Del Amo instead for upgraded 4K laser IMAX technology

“This IMAX hasn't been upgraded to 4K laser projection and 12-channel sound, so it's stuck with 1080p xenon projection and 6-channel sound. (The nearest upgraded IMAX is at AMC Del Amo) Dolby Cinema has dual 4K HDR laser projection (2.39:1 aspect ratio for Rolling Hills; 1.85:1 aspect ratio at AMC Del Amo), object-based sound, and luxury recliners that rumble; it will provide a better experience in most cases.”

“Terrible management. Went there to experience the IMAX effect, told the ticket agent that's why we went there, he gave us two tickets and said go to room #10. When we finished the movie, we went back to the ticket booth and told another different agent that the IMAX screen was not very impressive. He said they only have one room that's IMAX and #10 was not. He pointed to another one and only room that's IMAX. We complained why the previous agent did not send us to that IMAX one that we wanted to see. This new ticket agent said go in there and see the difference. It was getting late and we wanted to take the bus back to the hotel before it gets dark, but we said we will go take a quick look just to see how it's like. As soon as we sat down, a young 20 year old kid came over and said we have to leave the room and go purchase another ticket before we can come back in. We tried to explain the reason we were there and asked for the manager. He said he's the manager and he sternly told us to get up and leave. We are senior citizens and was not treated respectfully at all. We weren't going to sit through another movie, we just wanted to get a feeling of what it's like in an IMAX room just for a little while and leave. We were embarrassed to be told rudely to leave. That young man needs to be trained to better treat their customers.”
